Pretty Mike exudes controversy whenever his name is mentioned.
The luxury club owner, who exclusively spoke to TheNETng, reveals details about his relationship with Bobrisky, his style and personal life.
Critics say you do all that you do for attention, what’s your reaction to this?
If they say I’m seeking attention, that is fine. I’ve always been talked about even while I was in school, so I am used to criticism.
It is sad that people don’t know you before they form opinions about you.
But your name sounds feminine, where did you get the ‘pretty’ prefix from?
Well, it was given to me by members of my basketball team then, and it has stuck since then.
Pretty Mike was a synonym for someone who is ‘bad at what he does in a good way’ so my friends added pretty to my name.
You have been linked with Bobrisky, how did you meet him?
I met him some years ago, when he used to come to my club with his friends, he patronized me a lot and is my friend.
He is receiving lots of attention on social media and has managed to keep his ‘bae’ secret and by mentioning all that ‘bae’ has done for him.
Should I then say because of his uniqueness, I should betray him or deny him? I’m sure you have friends who you feel you should stand up for at any point in time.
So you have never been romantically involved with him?
No, I’m not gay, If you ask around, you will know I am a ladies’ man, I live my life not minding what people will think about me. I grew up with my sisters, so I’m used to ladies.
What of all the money you were said to have allegedly given him
(laughter) All those huge amounts of money, five million, seven million? I pray o. He is the one who gives me money by patronizing my club business.
So you have never given him money?
No, I haven’t.
You recently wore a robe for a function, were people not wondering what was going on?
Actually, I got the robe and wore it around the house and it looked really cool, and I thought to myself, wow, Mike it will be cool if you wore this out, and I did.
Well, some people are already used to Pretty Mike’s style, most times people just stood to take pictures with me.
Those ladies always with you, how do you recruit them?
It’s not about recruitment, it’s about how I treat every individual I come across.
Where does your inspiration come from?
Most times, I just think about being comfortable in whatever I wear. I get my inspiration from above, more so, it’s just me.
Some of your critics also think you are not psychologically alright. What’s your reaction to this?
Everyone has psychological issues, but it’s just the degree or extent that we don’t know. But who gives the yardstick or rules about who is okay or not?
If Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton and others were normal, do you think they would be seen as the phenomenon that they are today?
Even as a reporter that you are, there are some things that you will do which people will not regard as normal. The society sets standard and yardsticks, but who are people( just like you and I) to judge.
Well, I too cannot complain, because I would probably judge one or two people as well.
